so clinton was left to manage those relationships. i think i would say that she was often a soother, but often as not she was also someone who would speak out in a tough manner. look at her championship with the russians. even as president obama was proclaiming a reset in our relationship with the russian, hillary clinton was always often cast in the role of the tough guy in that relationship. and remember that when vladimir putin came back to power he publicly castigated her for secretly fomenting a revolution against him. so she wasn't afraid to speak out in this role either in many ways. >> trudy, do you think she pulled the obama administration in a more hawkish direction than its own instincts might have done? >> not necessarily. you know, i think she hughed to the obama administration's position on syria which was trying to get a deal between the russians and the americans and not helping militarily. she stuck with that. on iran, she was a hawk during the primaries between her and obama. but obama has publicly, at least, advance
